    Okay so my wireless internet through AT&T just randomly stopped working and I checked the modem and it had all red lights for connection and what not (it's supposed to be green). I called the company and they said I basically need a new one...so I went to Wal-Mart and bought the cheapest $50 modem I could find and I bring it back and set it up. I hooked it into the wall just like the other one and what not and I turned it on and all of the lights are green except for "activity" which has no color. I tried finding the signal through wireless and it doesn't show. Is there something else I should do for the wireless to work? Thanks and sorry for my noobness. :D

    Does it even have wireless?
    What model is it exactly?
    Did you set up ADSL login and password (I don't mean Wi-Fi password)
